It seems I can do the type conversion in two place:
1. The advanced editor for flat file source => Input and output roperties. And I can set the output columns data type properties there.
2. Using a Data conversion box in Data flow transformation.
Any difference between these two? Which one should be used?
[Flat File Destination [46500]] Error: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "Column 0" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page." What does this error mean exactly?
I am taking columns from a flat file source. Then I am adding some new columns then rewriting the file to a ragged file format with fixed column values. I've taken the Destination component off and it works fine. So I know it could be the destination component but what could it be? Any ideas?
I have a CSV Flat File Source with a Decimal column - but DataPrecision property is grayed out - why?

Iam trying to load a RR Flat File(Ragged Right) into SQL Server DB Destination.
The file feeds the data into two tables and the logic looks like this..
If Position 30 = ''
Record Set goes into Table 1
Else
Record Set goes into Table 2
I have no clue where to start with my limited SSIS Exposure.. Any Ideas as to what i shud be starting with (Transformations)??
Thanks in Advance.
I used Import Data task in SQL server management studio which created a package in file system.
Task failed but I decided to debug it in Visual Studio.
In foxpro I have table dumpreg with field hcode char(6) in SQL server table au_dumping2 with respective field refno varchar(15)
Why I get this warning ?
[Destination - AU_DUMPING2 [43]] Warning: Truncation may occur due to inserting data from data flow column "refno" with a length of 15 to database column "hcode" with a length of 6.
direction of flow from char(6) to varchar(15) which seems to be safe ?
When I modified column in SQL Server to char(6) and all respective lengths in external and input columns to match exactly warning went away , but I want all foxpro char to be varchar in SQL server .
After that I got
[Destination - AU_DUMPING2 [43]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".
Search in forum showed that it may be mismatch of metadata. But I used initially wizard for package generation.
Is there example of package which loads from existing Foxpo ( Access ) table to SQL server , where column names are different but mapped , also safe type conversions occur ( especially I am interested in char(n) => varchar(n) ) ?
I'm moving data between identical tables and have to use a flat file as an intermediary. I thought: "No problem, SSIS can do a quick export to a file, then move the file to another server, then use SSIS to import the data to the new server."
Seems simple, right?
I'm hitting all sorts of surprising data conversion errors. I used the export wizard to create the export package. This works fine. However using the same flat file definition, the import package fails -- even when I have no destination. That is I have just one data flow task that contains only one control: the Flat File source. When I run the package the flat file definition fails with data type conversion and truncation errors. One of the obvious errors is for boolean types. The SQL field is a bit, SSIS defined the column as DT_BOOL, the output of the data are literal text values "TRUE" and "FALSE". So SSIS converts a sql datatype of bit to "TRUE" and "FALSE" on export, but can't make the reverse conversion on import?
Does anyone else find this surprising? I would expect that what SSIS exports, it can import given all the same table and flat file definitions. Is SSIS the wrong tool to do such simple bulk copies? I'd like to avoid using BCP because this process will need to run automatically within SQL Agent so we can leverage all the error tracking and system monitoring.
Hi,
Iam trying to import data from a csv file into my table in SQL Server 2000. My table is called as temp_table and consists of 3 fields.
column datatype
-------- -----------
program nvarchar(20)
description nvarchar(50)
pId int
pId has been set to primary key with auto_increment.
My csv file has 2 columns of data and it looks like follows:
program, description
"prog1", "this is program1"
"prog2", "this is program2"
"prog3", "this is program3"
Now i use BULK INSERT like this
"BULK INSERT ord_programs FROM 'C:datafile.csv' WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR=',', ROWTERMINATOR='', FIRSTROW=2)"
to import data into my table in SQL server and it gives me this error
"Bulk insert data conversion error (type mismatch) for row 2, column 3 (pId)"
I guess i have to use fileformat or something since i dont have anything for pId field in the csv file to make it work...
Please help me out guys and please post a snippet of code if you have.
Thank You.
How do u achieve this -- While SSIS Data Load Execution itself?
Update Col B with Col A value if Col B is NULL in the Data File?
Hi all,
In a foreachloop, I am inserting records into a flat file which is working fine. But the thing is that as the file grows, it takes longer for it to locate the EOF(End of File) of the flat file so as to insert the records.
I have around 70-100 lines written to the file at each loop and there are more than 20k records to be looped. wihich means that at the end I should be having 1400k - 20000k line in the text file.
One solution would be to insert the records at the start of the file itself so that it does not has to lookup the EOF each time before writting.
Another would be to generate separate files and then merge it.
Any idea how can this can be done?
Beside this I have to zip the file and then SFTP to a given address.
Any suggestion or help would be welcome.

I am trying to load a file using SSIS that contains records with two different layouts in one data file but in the flat file connection I can only specify one layout and this is causing the records with the second layout to be loaded incorrectly.
The different record layouts can be identified by the first character of the record. Example: If Field begins with "A" then assign one layout; "B" assign second layout.
Has anybody come accross this issue, if so some guidence would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have SSIS package which is extracting data from oracle. I am using always use defualt code page =true
and Defualt code page value=1252.
While transferring values in to target table the package is success but when I check the decimal values
For example I have 488.9602 or 56.908 values in oracle table but when they come to SQL server they are rounded as 488.0000 or 56.000.
How can I populate the correct values from source to target
The target table has data type decimal(26,4).
Also when I check in the preview of source table I am able to see correct values. This is happening during the transfer only.
While loading the flat file into sql server2005 using SSIS , i am getting error like:
[Source - 20070801PensionPayments_dat [1]] Error: The "output column "Status" (246)" failed because truncation occurred, and the truncation
row disposition on "output column "Status" (246)" specifies failure on truncation. A truncation error occurred on the specified object of
the specified component.
In the EM import wizard, i can see last column [][](blank space similar box type). because of that i unable to load data into table. The delimiter is fixed width.
Please help me - Thanks in Advance.
I want to extract data from a table (based on a query) to a flat file.
So I have an OLE DB Source (data access mode SQL command) and then a flat file destination. The extract works finem except it extracts all table rows as one line in the file - whereas i want a separate line per DB record - what am I missing?
Thanks for any help!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have number of csv files in a folder, all of them with same columns, need to be merged into one table and imported to sql server.
-The first row of the csv file is a header.
-The csv files are updated everyday
-The destination table is replace by new table with new info in the csv.
-The new csv files can be created and old csv files may no longer exist, but we are only interested in information contain in current csv files in the folder.
-I need SSIS to combine all the csv files in the folder and merge into one table.
-Other issue is that the field names may change in csv, so can the SSIS package recognize the change in field name and made necessary change in destination table as well.
Any insight on this issues will be greatly appreciated?
Here's what I want to do -
Dynamically load a flat file from a dynamic source table-
The source table metadata is known via the SYSOBJECTS and SYSCOLUMNS tables- I can pull the column names, type and lengths from these tables based on the table name. (my goal is pretty simple- pull data from a table in our database, and save it down to a flat file)
Would this be enough to dynamically create the destination flat file? If so, how do I do it?
Thanks

I have a text file that loads just fine with DTS 2000, but in SSIS it does not seems to recognize the row delimiter. For example, most rows in the text file have 10 columns, but some have 8 columns. For those with 8 columns, the SSIS is adding the data from next row, not padding the columns with nulls. Please help...
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am trying to impliment a SSIS package where data source is a Flat file(.csv) file and destination is a sql server database.
The problem is my data source a flat file which consists of thousands of rows which are manually entered, so there is always a chance that in some rows they may miss a column value while entering data which results in an error.
Example: My flat file has headers like Sln, Name, Age, Designation. While entering data they may miss age and type it as 1,aaa,Consultant,,
Using SSIS package i want to track all row number in the flat file where data is entered wrongly so that i can correct only that row instead of checking all rows each time when my SSIS package throughs an error. I want to get all the row numbers in a sql server database which are wrongly entered.
Any suggestions are sincerly apriciated.
Thanks in advance

I have a problem with some in a file.
when i excute ma package to import data with my *.cvs file ssis bloqued le data flow in the line number 1042 and output this error : column delimiter note found for the column 50 wich is the last column .
How can i resolve this problème please.

I tried to load a fixed width flat file with around 300,000 rows. However, only the first 8xxxx rows were loaded to the destineation table and the rest row were loading blank records. There was no error message showing during package execution. I've tried to split the file in half and the result was the same. So it wasn't the data file problem.
Would there be any buffering issue I need to cater for inside the package? Thanks!
Each day I receive a file with a different name. For example, the name is filename_mmddyyyy.txt where filename_ stays constant and mmddyyyy is the date of the file. The file is always in the same format.
I want to build an SSIS where I pass it this file name. I can write a script to generate the correct file name. How do I build the SSIS so it can accept the input parameter and find the correct file to process?
Thanks
I have been tasked to do the following using SSIS.
We received two csv files each week and we would like to load these files to two different sql server tables using SSIS.
These files should be archived into a folder after each load.
How can I achieve this?
I writing the data from sql table to flat file destination. I want to insert the record count in the first line of the destination file.
Record count must preceed 00.EX . Writing 4500 records from database should show 004500 in the first line of flat file.
I have an execute task to store the count in a variable now.
I'm having a problem using the Flat File Source while using the underlying .Net classes to execute SSIS Packages. The issue is that for some reason when I load a flat file it Empty's out columns randomly. Its happening in the Flat File Source Task. By random I mean that most of the times all the data gets loaded but sometimes it doesnt and it empty's out column data. Interestingly enough this is random and even the emptying out of columns isnt a complete empty, its more like a 90% emtpying. Now you'll ask that is the file different everytime and the answer is NO. Its the same file everytime. If I run the same file everytime for 10 times it would empty out various columns maybe 1 of those times. This doesnt seem to be a problem while working with dtexec or the Package Executor utility. Need Help!!

I have the misfortune of converting a DTS package to SSIS that loads a flat file that has a text fields that can contain embedded text delimiters ("), column delimiters (,) and even new lines (CR+LF i.e.,hex 0D 0A) in it. A sample line from the file is posted here, remember this is just one line though it shows as three lines, since the third field has embedded new line in it:
4,"Sam","EVP; MARKETING PRODUCT MANAGER ""Level I"",
Internet Sales / HELP
8005551212",100
If you open in excel it handles it perfectly showing four fields, as below, and this is what I want ( I cannot get it aligned right in the posting, just save the above line in *.csv and open to see what it should be):
4 Sam "EVP; MARKETING PRODUCT MANAGER ""Level I"", 100
Internet Sales / HELP
8005551212"
Now, SSIS errors on the embedded text delimiters and breaks into two or three lines based on which option I chose. I have tried few options based on postings in the forum:
a). Using undouble and undoubleout: Does not work when there are embedded column delimiters (,) in the text field
b). Modified undouble script posted by lvovg at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1718225&SiteID=1. Handles the embedded column delimiters (,) perfectly, but the embedded new lines (CR+LF i.e.,hex 0D 0A) are breaking it.
Since, I am using the ragged right format to read from the file then use transform script on the line by lvovg, the line is already broken by the ragged right format at the embedded new lines, hence does not work.
Right now I am stuck. Can someone please help (anyone from MS) ? I am already baffled at the amount of coding required to convert a very basic ( and working ) flat file load DTS package to SSIS. I am willing to persist bit longer to convert this to SSIS, before I give up and stick with DTS and wait for a fix / workaround.
Thanks.
I am trying to use the Bulk Insert Task to load from a csv file. My final column is a bit that is nullable. My file is an ID column that is int, a date column that is mm/dd/yyy, then 20 columns that are real, and a final column that is bit. I've tried various combinations of codepage and datafiletype on my task component. When I have RAW with Char, I get the error included below. If I change to RAW/Native or codepage 1252, I don't have an issue with the bit; however, errors start generating on the ID and date columns.
I have tried various data type settings on my flat file connection, too. I have tried DT_BOOL and the integer datatypes. Nothing seems to work.
I hope someone can help me work through this.
Thanks in advance,

I know i got to use for each loop task ADO.Net schema row set enumerator, with OLEDB connection manager, select table name or view name variable from access mode list, but the problem comes, as table name is dynamic then flat file connection is also dynamic, i am using visual studio 2013...

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am working to archive some old data from a data warehouse using SQL server and SSIS. The data will be read and denormalized, then shipped out to a delimited text file.
The rowcount of the incoming data is significant, call it 10M+ rows per unit of work (one text file).
There are development advantages of using a stored proc for the data source - mainly ease of changing the denormalization logic as required. Wondering if there are performance advantages of an embeded query for the data source instead?
It was mentioned by one developer that when using a stored procedure, the output stream from the proc and subsequent SSIS steps cannot start until the full procedure processing is complete; i.e. the proc churns out its' result set in one big chunk.
He hinted that an embedded query does not have this same effect, but I am not sure that is accurate.
